After 20 minutes of waiting outside the baggage claim area for your friend to pick you up, you decide to go inside the airport t
erminal and phone her. Standing a short distance from you is a kind-looking older woman. "Would you mind watching my luggage so I can go make a quick phone call?" you ask politely. "I'd be happy to watch it for you," she replies, "my ride is not coming for another half-hour." When you return less than five minutes later, the old lady and your luggage (including your laptop) are gone. This example illustrates one of the problems associated with:__________ A) ethnocentrism.
B) the "feel good, do good" effect.
C) the rule of reciprocity.
D) an implicit personality theory.
The scenario that is being described in the question illustrates one of the problems associated with an implicit personality theory. This theory basically describes how the traits and patterns that a person may use in order to make a judgement call on what kind of person a stranger is based on very little detail. For example in this situation you judged a complete stranger as being a kind older woman, solely on the way she looked....Which turned out to be wrong.
